I certainly hope Sarah Palin makes her mind up soon so you will know her plans.
Please answer the Cuban missile crisis question, because it is a question I always ask of candidates I consider. I am interested in what you have to say.
I don’t care about her plans. Palin is not a person she is an idea, an ideal. I want a Palinesque candidate for which I can vote.
Your concern is touching.
Pandering to a new electorate,if one wishes to successfully fake sincerity,takes time and subtle tweaking.
The post you responded to,Perry's stance as of yesterday,is the first baby step of an eventual flip flop on the issue of illegal alien invaders.
More to come.
That’s okay, the bloom will definitely be off the Perry rose by Iowa!
The bloom will be off the yellow pose (poser) of Texas. (I wouldn’t disrespect the song because I happen to love that song.
;-)
Would you care to elaborate on this? I was in high school in Florida during this time.
Gov. Perry has said that the Arab world must recognize Israel as a state and that to do that they must negotiate directly with Israel. Israel will make the decision about missiles.
Please ask your question directly so I know where you are trying to go with it.
BTW -- did you read the entire OpEd?
If anyone has trouble accessing the WSJ piece, copy the title and then paste it in "google" search and then click on the first link that appears and you should be able to see the entire OpEd.
What flip flop?
What evolving?
Please give me specifics with linked sources. I would be interested to see them.
“And as noted in the excerpt quote from Perry above in this thread, the border MUST be sealed before anything else happens.
People who live on the border with Mexico understand what Perry is saying.”
Baloney. There is nothing at all to stop our country from building a border fence. Nothing but the will to do it. Perry is an open borders advocate, period. His comment that the border MUST be sealed is a crock unless you actually do it, and a fence is the only method to most permanently seal that border. Romney says he would build a fence. Now how is it he would manage to do it and Perry can’t, hmmmm? Guess it is possible.
Where there is river, then build the fence on the U.S. side with gates in it and border security to man those gates. Or build the fence everywhere else other than by the river, and the river part, heavily man it with border security or with the National Guard, or drones, technology or all of the above.
The Israeli’s (funny that Perry so supports Israel with THEIR border fences, and by the way, Israel is at this very minute building a new fence along the Sinai to seal off that border w/Egypt also, so that much of their country will be sealed shut by a border fences)know the benefits of border fences; Perry should know this also. The fact is he doesn’t want one, frankly. You are trying to cover for him, because he is your candidate of choice.
You must be an Obama supporter to say something so patently misleading. Or maybe you own a fence company. Do you live in a border state? Do you know anything about this at all?
Yes. I read about Israel's new plans for their 130 mile fence to protect themselves from Egypt. That is a far cry from a 1250 fence just in Texas alone. Do you expect Mexico to attack us soon? Drive us into the sea?
“You must be an Obama supporter to say something so patently misleading. ... Do you expect Mexico to attack us soon? Drive us into the sea?”
A direct quote by Obama in a speech is below. The last sentence of his speech sounds just like what Perry thinks. And your disingenuous comment about Mexico attacking us (which is so over the top, as the issue is illegal immigration, not an attack) sounds very Obama-like and Dem-like, I must say. I believe that you are the one like Obama on this particular subject. You sound pretty pro-Mexico’s attitude towards border enforcement. By the way, one doesn’t need to live in Texas to have an opinion about illegal immigration and how to fix it. Otherwise, all the other candidates with the exception of Ron Paul from TX could not voice an opinion on how to handle the border situation. Now isn’t that silly? Here is the snippet of Obama’s speech:
To the Hispanic Caucus, Obama said his new policy will “prioritize criminals who endanger our communities, not students trying to achieve the American dream.”
Perry supports cheap in-state tuition for illegal aliens. Geez.... What part of “illegal” does he no comprendo?
I don't think any president, leftist or rightist, would be willing to go that far for Israel or Taiwan. Unlike missles in Cuba, the fate of those two lands are not issues of American national survival. Besides, I don't think the USA would ever be called upon to go that far in a nuclear sense, particularly in the case of Israel.
Has Palin actually said she will build a fence?
I've noticed.
Yes, she’s said she’d complete the fence and put as many NG on the border as required to secure it.
Don’t get me wrong, she has not to date been as strong on illegal immigration as I’d like her to be—but she’s 100x better than Perry!
Flaglady seems to be from Illinois, therefore she is much more qualified to talk about the US Mexico border then you or I. After all, you only live in Texas and I live in Arizona so we would know nothing about the matter.
“.....By the way, one doesn’t need to live in Texas to have an opinion about illegal immigration and how to fix it....
I’ve noticed.”
Go say that to all of the non-Texan candidates who have an opinion on border control. Double dare you.
That's just Perry and the usual religious Snake Oil salesmen pandering to members of his Left Behind McFleeced base.... who didn't get raptured before the Countrywide ARM on their McMansions exploded....
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time; that to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves, is sinful and tyrannical..."
